He even remembers exactly when and where he got them. Some say hes a kid of hoarder but no he is a true collector. He keeps his collection organized and shares it with the world, and has been doing even before UA-cam.
Its the thing i love the most about the channel, the pure appreciation for creativity. its not about how complicated something is, or how simple, but the fact that someone has thought of an idea and then built it. I love that.
If Tim had a patreon, I can't help but feel it would be incredibly successful just from people wanting to thank him for showing us such wonderful things in such a wholesome and interesting way. I know I've bought things from his store after seeing them in videos, as much to support Tim as anything else.
It is kInd of you to suggest it, but Grand Illusions makes some money from this UA-cam channel, and also from the online toy shop at www.grand-illusions.com ;-) That pays for Tim's travel.
I love how he appreciates things like Origami, as much for the idea behind it and the ins and outs of its construction as the final product you end up with. He has an appreciation for little tactile things - Origami, spinning tops, yoyos, magic tricks, slight of hand, puzzles, etc - that you do with your hands that reminds me so much of my own grandfather, if I'm honest.
For a man I've never met that lives in another country than I do I still can say for sure your both seem right to me. Then again I think the last 6 presidents we've had are actually the same shape shifting reptilian alien, so what do I know.
Printers’ hats are a real thing. Printers used to make them and wear them to keep ink out of their hair. Maybe they still do, but it’s been a long time since I hung out around printing presses.
With everything going on in the world, if we are able to show these videos to as many people. A Reminder of what really matters Simplicity Decency And Good Nature.
Tim, just for no reason beyond a curious idle musing, but how does one go about meeting you for purposes of giving you a hug and thanking you for all the marvellous videos? ^_^
Tim I have watched you for years now!! I’m 17 now and still come back to look at all the neat things you have to show us all! Keep up the great show. You are an amazing creator, bringing the child out in everyone.
Tim makes me feel better for having a whole suitcase of Yoyos, strings, bearings, etc at the bottom of my wardrobe. Hes definitely someone who understands the allure of objects that just feel good in your hands.
I'm from Near Cleveland and I've been to Dover Ohio where those mini pliers are made, he has a whole museum of those things. I recognized them immediately!
Yeah the Warther Museum is def a nice stop if you happen to be in the Canton area. You can stop by Blazin Burgers or Shy Cellar a nearby for some very good food no matter what you're in the mood for.
The folded paper box was the most useful origami I learned when in primary school. Use it as a hat, a boat, a fortress, a thing to hold your tiny little stuff or pencil shavings. Thank you for a great video as always. All the fun ideas and memories keep popping up. 😊
I saw the thumbnail and got way excited. The Warther Museum is like a town over from my hometown. Its totally worth a visit and is generally a weird place. I got a set of those pliers sitting on a knick knack shelf.
how odd, I recently revisited a favorite origami fold that produces either a 4 sided box with an open lid that can hold small items, or a 4 legged tray with side handles that can also hold small items. Origami is Very Satisfying, it helps you focus and the end result is something you can give as a gift.
Hello Tim, I’d like to thank you, I do not watch your videos every time they come up but when i do they do help me. Recently i’ve been getting bullied at school, the week has been horrible, And the week before, So I have to thank you, Every time I feel sad i come back, and you help. You’re an amazing person and a very charming man, thank you for helping me get thru the mental torment of school right now. Love from Ireland 💕
I know an origami piece similar to the last one (albeit much simpler) that, when you use a standard sheet of paper, folds to exactly fit a gift card. Girlfriend baxk in high school loved it.
Hey people. I got real excited when I saw the pliers. A local hero from Ohio USA made those popular. His name is Mooney Warther. thewarthermuseum.com/ this is the website for the meusem they made. May not be connected but I thought it was cool to see in on of Tims Videos!
Hey Tim, the embossed card could be used with another piece of paper and rubbing a pencil lead against the it for a nice negative name card. Thank you for the videos.
I learnt how to make a printers hat from watching an episode of the Generation Game back in the 70s. The printer who showed how to make it said that if it was made well the square version could be used to carry hot water (to make your tea?) but I have never tried this! I have been making them ever since.
I knew those pliers looked familiar for some reason. I've lived in the Dover/New Philadelphia area (Ohio) my whole life. Every year, right before Christmas, the Warther's Museum has a Christmas tree festival. It's become somewhat of a tradition to go there with my mom every year. Strange to see something so close to home in a video like this.
“We had two bags of green army men, seventy-five water activated foam dinosaur pellets, five sheets of high powered flash paper, a salt shaker half full of sneezing powder, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored jinglers, janglers, streamers, laughers... and also a quart of water from the Nile, another quart of water from the Nile, a case of firecrackers, a pint of raw fart spray and two dozen cymbal playing monkeys. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious toy collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.”
The "quite like a 3D printer" comment is a very astute observation; it refers to the fact that 3D printers can easily make devices like this (interlocking moving parts made from solid pieces that cannot be disassembled). And Tim doesn't own a computer! I believe he has a mechanical engineering degree or something similar; good to see that he's keeping up with the times.
I think if you ask him "i will give you a word and you have to pick a toy and it has to be associated with the word like sword" takes out a briefcase anf shows anything wich has a sword in it or mentions a sword
I love how he can take the most mundane gifts and toys and make them seem so precious. Everything in his collection is equally appreciated it feels.
He even remembers exactly when and where he got them. Some say hes a kid of hoarder but no he is a true collector. He keeps his collection organized and shares it with the world, and has been doing even before UA-cam.
Its the thing i love the most about the channel, the pure appreciation for creativity. its not about how complicated something is, or how simple, but the fact that someone has thought of an idea and then built it. I love that.
@Carson Gary fake comment
@Derek Bodhi bet
@@BananaMana69 he has the dates on the boxes where he stores the toys so thats 1
an overwhelming amount of Tim's favorite things are literally folded pieces of paper and it's the most precious thing to watch
Tim is basically a crow or raccoon showing off it's collection of shiny things and I'm here for it
He is a simple man
favourite*
Someone start a just giving page so we can donate and pay for one of his trips to America as a thank you for showing us all these cool things!

Ben I believe this channel is managed by grand illusions they sell toys on their website so I think that’s how they pay for his trips
u do it

Tim’s minted he don’t need hand outs
Am I the only one that thinks Tim would be an amazing Dungeon Master?
I believe anyone who's played DnD thinks this.
He's got the natural born spirit.
Would be the most wholesome game of D&D ever played
"Here's a wonderful figurine, it's a Red Elder Dragon."
"Take your roll and let's see....uh oh...something quite terrible has happened"
"yes well, as you enter the room you see an extraordinary contraption that looks quite like a toy for children. it's really quite interesting. heh."
Who else just comes here when they’re down just to watch how happy and interested he is with his toys
I've got a slight feeling that Tim likes origami.
I love how he appreciates things like Origami, as much for the idea behind it and the ins and outs of its construction as the final product you end up with.

I loovvvveeee origami
He likes japanese toys
Printers’ hats are a real thing. Printers used to make them and wear them to keep ink out of their hair. Maybe they still do, but it’s been a long time since I hung out around printing presses.
I love how Tim knows where and when he stumbled upon each of his oddities. Magnificent.

Apparently, every single item in Tim's collection is "extraordinary".
quite extraordinary indeed
"Wow!"
Man has extraordinary tastes.
Thay are
He has a few “remarkable” items too
This is a good man, love how his eyes shine when he talks about things he enjoys. I'm very glad for this man to have this channel and publicity.
With everything going on in the world, if we are able to show these videos to as many people. A Reminder of what really matters
Simplicity
Decency
And
Good Nature.

Wonderful video. My gratitude goes to you and your entire production team. Wishing you all good health and happiness.
Tim, just for no reason beyond a curious idle musing, but how does one go about meeting you for purposes of giving you a hug and thanking you for all the marvellous videos? ^_^
Isn't it wonderful that there is such a person as this man???
Goddamn, I love this. I no longer fear eternity...... as long as there are more episodes.

00:38 There's a bishop between them and they both look worried. I can't imagine why. :P
That's hilarious. I didn't even notice at first.
I love how he makes G4G feel like a secret puzzle convention for other super secret toy wizards.
Probably because it is.
Grandpa Tim is at it again!
Love the videos Tim! Keep on keeping on brother!
These videos make me feel so much better about the delightful thing i collect, that my friends and family look at as junk.
Tim makes me feel better for having a whole suitcase of Yoyos, strings, bearings, etc at the bottom of my wardrobe. Hes definitely someone who understands the allure of objects that just feel good in your hands.
@@medes5597yea im a puzzle guy myself i never had the skill for yoyo. Haha
He is the sweetest, loveliest hoarder I have ever seen
8:34 Tim's been cancelled
I hear sound of music while reading the title XD
And then i dont feeeeel so baddddddd
Wow, I never knew Tim loves hexaflexagons!
Bulbasaur001 he has an entire video about them!
Those hexaflexagones are another version of origami fireworks, I wonder if Tim has one of them, I love origami and would love to send one to him
Wholesome

The moon one reminds me of the mad magazine folding comic on the back page lol, always loved those as a kid.
*This gentleman is like UA-cam's eccentric grandfather, which I LOVE!*
I have been watching your videos for 2 years and they are always so interesting
His enjoyment of humanity is truly precious. Through Tim's eyes, humans are truly remarkable, and maybe we are, even if we forget most the time
Thank You Tim for Sharing.
I love how everyone here agrees that Tim's stuff is a bit rubbish but we love how enthusiastic and kind he is
What makes me really sad is that the Gathering4Gardener event that he was looking forward to got rescheduled until next year :'(
How cute is this that there’s a convention where people go to show each other cool things

Seeing his joy for origami makes me happy
Keep it up. You are what youtube needs. Some wholesome videos to relax and enjoy. Thank you Tim!!! We love you
It’s clear Tim truly admires elegance, simplicity, and craftsmanship in his novelties. I love that.
I could listen to grandpa tim talk for hours.
Have a nice trip, Tim. Looking forward to hear about it later.
These are "few" of my favorite things. 12h video
We wish it was 12 hour video
@@DobbyDeee I bet Tim would fall asleep. It's the age you know.
@@DobbyDeee or an hour special would be enough for ME ☺
I LOVE YOU TIM
“The purity of the white” Tim no!!
This is a classic Tim moment
We need more! 😁
Tim uploads:
Me: super wacky fun times yes
It would be such an honor to meet Tim. Going to a toy convention with him would be bliss.
My (possibly eccentric) dad would make and use those newspaper hats working in the woods in the UK in the 1980s.We knew them as ‘carpenters hats’.
The "10 cut pliers" is now a fairly well known production method. Seen quite a few pliers etc made from one piece.
I love his vids because it makes me go to sleep. I don’t know why.
It's a relaxing, trouble free space. Just as Bob Ross.
Every night before bed. Tho I do hate to miss any of his treasures while my eyes are closed...

DOVER BABYYY
The chapter where Tim discusses the Gathering for Gardner is somehow titled "Gala for Gardeners".
Watching your videos is like going to grandpa's house. ❤
I invented a board game that I gave my father for his birthday. That was cool
Why do i love this channel so damn much
Tim King of UA-cam.
I insist you get us a way to donate towards the creation of a museum to store and display all of Tim's little wonders
I got to see the pliers made in person in Dover, OH. Quite an amazing facility and process. Have it sitting on my desk
I need a graduated hat ;-)
Hey Tim, the embossed card could be used with another piece of paper and rubbing a pencil lead against the it for a nice negative name card. Thank you for the videos.

I haven’t the slightest clue why but tim strikes me as someone who likes origami
I’m here! Sorry I’m late also I luv this channel
Wonderful, and G4G looks terrific. One small point: The Boston Herald is not a "good quality American newspaper".
“We had two bags of green army men, seventy-five water activated foam dinosaur pellets, five sheets of high powered flash paper, a salt shaker half full of sneezing powder, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored jinglers, janglers, streamers, laughers... and also a quart of water from the Nile, another quart of water from the Nile, a case of firecrackers, a pint of raw fart spray and two dozen cymbal playing monkeys.

Wow! My Uncle Frank made a square paper hat. I never learned how to make it before he died. Thank you for giving the name of it!
loving the fact that our of the few hundred suitcases of oddities, Tim's fave thing's are bits of paper and wood, that can all fit into a pocket 😀
Im gonna quote Jack Nicholson as the joker after meeting the batman for the 1st time. "Where does he get all those wonderful toys?"
Hi Tim! That hat looks good on you..
what i would give to browse through Tims garage for a couple of hours
I think Tim is the best.
I have some city maps that need folding back, Tim. That's an evening or two sorted out for you!
This guy is so awesome
Made my day ❤❤
Never change tim
I love the way Tim says 'off'. "ORF". :)
you videos are addictive
it will only take a few seconds oh a bit longer than that oh well I will be here till midnight I expect. legend has it he is still up doing it.
Thanks for another great video tim
